Paul Galbraith Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Bass-a-holics, I was sitting in a car with one of my builders the other night about 7pm & suddenly heard a wicked bass solo on the radio - complete WTF moment, was desperate to listen to it again, my builder said it was Radio 1 we were listening to... So when I got home I jumped on the Radio 1 website, found the show listened to it & Shazam'ed the track ... listen to 3:15 onwards... : [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jltN3fLFmTQ"]https://www.youtube....h?v=jltN3fLFmTQ[/url] - [font=arial, sans-serif]Kendrick Lamar's new single called ' i '[/font] [b] * A radio play chart track with a bad boy bass solo - OMFG !!! [/b] Enjoy Edited October 31, 2014 by Paul Galbraith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaFunk Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The Isley Brothers 'That Lady' is obviously the main sample but is the bass solo by Thundercat? (Stephen Bruner). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziphoblat Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I found the whole thing quite distasteful if I'm honest. I don't really see what the bass solo added to an already weak song. Just one person's opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to have the bass at the outro - but can't compensate for that vocal. Not what I'd call good by any definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 It didn`t do anything for me, except switch off and listen to The Isley Brothers. I enjoyed that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The minute I heard the vocal I knew I'd hate it so I also skipped to the end and then started wondering if it was sampled bass rather than an actual played solo. Meanwhile I'm enjoying relistening to some Comsat Angels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M@23 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I'm surprised the track isn't faded out before the solo bit - most radio stations seem to cut off the outro these days, sometimes even the whole last chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaFunk Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) I really don't like Rap but i do like a bit of Hip Hop but think that the op made the same old mistake that many others before here on BC of posting something that isn't Prog Rock or by Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, ELO and 40 years old. Despite being 60 i'm glad to say that my ears are always open to new music and that music didn't come to a grinding halt for me after Dark Side Of The Moon or Stairway To Bloody Heaven.

He doesn't say it's "crap" just that he "wouldn't call it good"...I agree,I don't like it and I didn't like the solo either....I like Paul Rogers (well the two "OLD" bands he sang with)...doesn't make me right and you wrong, just means we like different music.

Drax Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Cheers for posting Paul - not a bad tune, really enjoyed the second half. Pushes the boundaries a bit for chart stuff, certainly beats alot of other dross out there Edited October 31, 2014 by DanR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidder652003 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 my dodgy band only plays old farts 60s and 70s rock but i thought that was frickin ace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myke Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) This was cool! I'm liking it, not even got to the bass solo yet! Edit: Got there and honestly I felt like the song didn't really need it, I possibly might like it more without it!

BigGuyAtTheBack Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hmmm didn't really like the guy's vocals but I liked the tune, groovy sh1t! Not sure about the bass solo though, a bit 'burpy' sounding for me. Gets old man coat LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Loved it except for the guys voice - bass solo was excellent - I would have been shocked if I'd heard that on radio 1 as well!! Cool change when the sequence changes on the breakdown. Sounds a bit Jaco-esque - possibly a fretless - if it's a keyboard it doesn't sound like one!! Too many bass guitarisms in there - I've heard that bass sound before - Gerald Veasley/Jimmy Haslip? Who's that guy you're on about - Paul Rogers? Oo I remember now - he fronted a band I went to see in 1971 - fabulous 3 piece with an upfront bass sound - so impressed was I that I went to see them another 4 times!!

He has played bass for Kendrick Lamar on previous recordings as had Stephen 'Thundercat' Bruner. Both are top bass players in Hip Hop. Not bad bad for an old fella eh?

As for youngsters - haven't got a clue - my children have always opened my mind to new music - unfortunately so great is the groundswell of general pop muso centricity towards 60s and late 60s/early 70s rock music that seeing under 30 year olds basing their entire musical style around it is very common. Free rarely gets past All Right Now - Deep Purple, Black Knight etc. Extremely sad. That music is great but is 40 - 50 yrs old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
